menu selection

[mackrackit]

Let's try to debug this...
Your code is running to here?

TEMP:
'SNIP
    LCDOUT $FE,$C0,dta(0),DTA(1),DTA(2),DTA(3),DTA(4),DTA(5),DTA(6),DTA(7),DTA(8),dta(9),dta(10),dta(11),dta(12),DTA(13),DTA(14),DTA(15)
    RETURN

Then ends up here

main: 
'ADD LED TO FLASH TO SEE IF IT IS HERE OR DISPLAY "AT MAIN" TO THE LCD 
    if portB.1=1 then                               'arrow down
        push = push+1 : goto selection : endif
    if portA.1=1 then                               'arrow up
        push = push-1 : goto selection : endif
    pause 5000
    goto main

Then when you get here

selection:
"DISPLAY THE VALUE OF "push" TO THE LCD
    pause 200
    if push=1 then screen1
    if push=2 then screen2
    if push=3 then screen3
    if push=4 then screen4
    if push=5 then screen5
    if push=6 then screen6
    if push=7 then screen7
    if push=8 then screen8
    if push=9 then
        push = 1 : goto screen1 : endif  
    if push=0 then
        push = 8 : goto screen8 : endif
    goto main

I have a sneaky suspicion you will need to use >= in place of =
Does that make sense?

Sorry to say but I have tested the menu selection on a simulator and if you change the pause to 50 it works fine (although I would have used a LOOKUP with BRANCHL), but leaving that aside, I suspect you have been naughty with your syntax - you define a word and then treat it like an array. A simple little test of:
dta = 513
dta1 = 514
extra1 = 515
extra2 =516

LCDOUT dec dta(0), " ", dec dta(1), " ", dec DTA(2), " ", dec dta(3), " "

gives this result:
513 514 515 516
indicating that
dta(0) = dta
dta(1) = the next defined variable etc
quite unpredicable results - you must define an array and reference it with "square brackets" or better still with the STR expression. Eg:

Buffer var byte[16]
HSERIN 1000, tsync, [str Buffer\5]
